I think you just created a trigger on a bomb, tbh. Turn guy with hole into a hamster, toss in the bag, and when the hamster suffocates and drops to zero hp, guy turns back into guy, bringing the hole back into existence and then creating an astral tear.

My players must never figure this out.

I ended up having a very intense scene where a powerful spirit came to him in a dream. The combination of the music I used, the slow and deliberate delivery, and the imagery I used ended up being deeply affecting and he was just overwhelmed and swept up in it.>

I am extremely pleased with myself. I ran d&d. The cleric of the party, who recently picked up War Cleric as his subclass but had not dedicated himself to a particular god (it's an animist setting, so 'god' is a very broad category).

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Just idly thinking how cool it is that Kikiyama, developer of Yume Nikki just dropped one of the most influential free games anywhere and then disappeared.

All we really know is that the money from merch on Fangamer DOES reach them, and that Toby Fox interviewed them but they'd only answer Yes/No.

I don't know if this is like, worthy of a gag about work life balance ala The Red Death from the Venture Brothers, but an acknowledgement of the limits of one's shadow and placing boundaries for it does lead to a happier outcome for you.

So, while living a good life may not be the best revenge, it's something you can live with. The ability to put the rage away and do things that bring you joy ultimately can mean that once the target of your umbridge sits kneeling in front of you, you have a life to return to.>

Anger is good, a need for satisfaction is good, wanting to hear those who wronged you turn to ask for mercy is good; it's fuel. But to be consumed by the pursuit of that, to live for that, you put everything else aside. You stagnate. It rots you from the inside.>

I don't try to hold on to feelings of retribution for longer than needed; I've been sitting in a pot of it since the crash and doing everything above board and to social standards. But good lord, is it ever slow and unsatisfying while I wait.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMaf3ErV/ - I love this in a particular way. I've had this kind of internal dialogue many times regarding the morality of vengeance, and I think it's important to view this with the understanding that it is best as a Socratic Dialog and not an actual measure of truth.>

As this country crumbles, Indigenous rights and sovereignty are going to come to the forefront, as well as States Rights.

Be prepared to advocate for Native tribes and people. We are the front line and we hold the answers to lead a new way.

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a vintage Unimog!

An old Unimog, it's a small cream coloured truck that's shaped like a truck instead of a racecar bed

I dunno if it would; you'd know the differences in your own fish first. If there's no obvious signs, using a hospital tank with salt + melafix to start, and if that doesn't improve things in a few days, then a broad spectrum antibiotic in the hospital tank would be good next.

If it's a fungal or parasite infection, there would be external signs most likely. There's a few different antibiotics that could be used, but that depends on secondary symptoms like frayed fins or mouth rot.

I haven't taken care of betas, but based on what I know it could be a few things. If he's on the bottom or top of the tank, could be a swim bladder issue, but if the lethargy is a recent development and he didn't have issues before, I'd say bacterial infection.>
